Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: a medium saucepan, whisk, measuring cups, and a heat-safe storage container.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low-medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Continuously whisk the mixture until chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add mini marshmallows to the chocolate mixture, stirring gently until marshmallows are fully melted and incorporated, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- Sift powdered sugar into the sauce, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and ensure a silky consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Allow the hot fudge sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes, during which it will slightly thicken.
- Transfer the sauce to a heat-safe storage container or serving dish, using a spatula to capture all the delicious sauce.
- Serve warm over ice cream, cakes, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the most luxurious flavor and smoothest texture.
- Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure a silky-smooth consistency.
- For extra richness, use a combination of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, gently reheat with a splash of cream.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently warm before serving.
- For a flavor twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of espresso.
- Use a silicone spatula to scrape every last delicious bit from the pan.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving to achieve the perfect drizzling consistency.
